WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS

PREPARATION:

Stir together white flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Rub shortening in by hand. Make a well in the center of the batter and pour in the boiling water. Mix with a fork until all of the water is evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with a bit of additional flour and knead until the dough does not stick to fingers. Make balls the size of golf balls and place them on a tray. Cover your dough with a cloth and let it sit for eight hours. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a tortilla to your preferred thinness. Fry the first side for approximately 10 seconds until you see a bubble form in the middle of the tortilla. Flip the tortilla over and let it cook for approximately 30 additional seconds. Flip the tortilla once more and let it cook for 30 seconds more.
